The Personal Development Bookshelf

Personal development has 4 key stages:

1. Decide what areas of your life you want to improve
2. Develop a plan
3. Aquire the knowledge you need to achieve your goal
4. Work hard towards your goal and never give up

Put careful thought into the first two stages. Once you have decided what area of your life you want to improve, an effective plan will save you time and money. See the 8 Steps to Success in Anything to see the steps needed to achieve success in any endeavor.

Reading is probably the best thing you can do for your mind.

Avid readers have better memory, more imagination and creativity, and in many cases higher IQ scores than non-readers.

Devoting some of your time daily to reading is a very useful habit that will take you far in your personal development goals. The very best investment a person can make is in themselves.

You should read whatever interests you! Read about the areas of your life you want to improve. Read about history or whatever topic you have always been interested in. Read some of the great literature out there.

Read whatever you want. Just make sure it is high quality reading.
